Introduction: "Most of the Moniligastrin, Octochaetin, Glossoscolecin, Microchaetin and Lumbricid worms with which this paper is concerned were collected during the rainy seasons of 1931 and 1932. The section on the Megascolecinae deals only with material collected in 1932 except in so far as P. anomala and P. rugosa are concerned. In addition to the collections mentioned in the preceding paper of this series, Miss Anderson secured further material from the Pegu Y omas in Tharrawaddy District while Mr. Blackwell collected in the same hills in the western portion of Toungoo District as lWell as in the independent state of Karenni. Mr. Sutton sent specimens from the Kamaungthwe River region (of Tavoy District) near the Siamese border. Mr. Cope collected in the Chin Hills District, an interesting portion of the province in which no previous collecting had been done. Other collections were made at various places in the Deltas and Dry Zone sections of the Central Basin Region, at Namkham, Kalaw and Taungyi on the Shan Plateau and at Kyaukpyu and Akyab on the western coast of the Arakan Division. All available types of the Indian Moniligastrin and Octochaetin speoies exoept of D. doriae and E.foveatus have been examined or re-examined and in many cases the material collected prior to 1931. Several small collections recently received from the Malay Peninsula contain only specimens of Pontoscolex corethrurus. A few notes on these worms have been included in the section on the Microchaetinae. "
